Thank you so much for your support and sympathy to help us to acquire knowledge. I would like to know if I need to login on my laptop as administrator to activate the Hyper-V because when I am on my end-user account it doesn't show on the "Turn Microsoft features on or off" . I would appreciate if you could help me with this question.

[@HoodieKayy]

during the install process i am running into a notificatio that goes "cannot validate argument on parameter 'percent complete' the 105 argument is greater than the maximun range of 100 Supply an argument that is less than or equal to 100 and then try the command again. I have tried trouble shooting with no luck.

Thank you Ervin. Is like you read my mind 😅 i said i was going to ask if u can do the set up video for it since a lot of people will be interested and boom u did.😁 after watching the SCCM video you made I decided to install it on my 8gb ram and 500gb SSD laptop. It was a success but It keep telling me that I don’t have enough memory whenever i try to run all the machines. So I decided to Upgrade my Ram to 16gb. I just ordered it and it should be arriving tomorrow. I’m super excited its d first time I’m doing an upgrade 😅. Thanks for always having us at heart❤️🙏🏽

I have oracle installed, and thanks to many of your videos, i have windows server set up, a small AD and domain and even managed to connect a virtual windows 11 machine to the domain. Can confirm that running this on a harddisk sucks :) . I think my HDD is on its way out anyway ( i dont care as its only a game drive and my VM drive), so this might be affecting the speeds, but yes, the whole operation of running 2 VMs of the HDD is very slow.

[@Cobuman]

Nice! Yeah, a lot of waiting around for VM to boot up.

how to enable hyperV on windows 11 cos I cant find it and do i need to enable virtual on hardware too?

[@Cobuman]

Under "Turn Windows features on or off" menu.

[@samn1732]

How do you enable hyper V in windows 11 home?

[@Cobuman]

Unfortunately, Hyper V does not work on Home version for some reason. The other option is VirtuaBox, and you can still install windows server trial version from Microsoft.

[@sunnydeeliite]

Is this better than downloading the windows server for Active Directory set up and practice?

[@Cobuman]

The lab is good if you need working knowledge right away because it comes with preconfigured servers and clients. This is similar to what you would expect to find in a business environment. For example, with the lab you can join those clients to the domain and use domain logins on existing clients. Same thing for DHCP, DNS and etc... Otherwise, you would need to learn how to setup everything from the scratch. But, if you only need to learn AD for login ids and password reset practice then windows server would be enough.

Please what's the best memory or size to partition from my 256GB memory space required for me to create for my own VM drive?

[@Cobuman]

This lab requires 160GB free space or something like that. But, you do need to copy the downloaded and unzipped folder to that space, which is another 17GB.

[@24GreenClouds]

Hi Cobuman, love your videos. I hit a roadblock because I installed the lab on my laptop which operates on Windows Home Version and apparently this version doesn't allow you to have Hyper-V. Should I just pay to upgrade to Windows Pro to use the lab or is there another way? Also do I have to delete Oracle VM VirtualBox completely from my laptop in order to use the lab?

[@Cobuman]

I'd say stick with Oracle VM and configure to the best of your knowledge. I did find that Oracle needs to be completely removed if using HyperV, not sure if there is a workaround.

[@darrelfischer465]

@@Cobuman I started out with my first VM using Oracle VM VirtualBox v.7 successfully without knowing that Hyper-V was enabled. It seems my response will be W11pro-related, but Oracle VM VirtualBox should be version 6.1.28 or higher to take advantage of the Oracle/Microsoft workaround. It is recommended to use only one hypervisor at a time due to the resource conflicts that would be inherent but that may be allowed in the future. BTW I have been new to this so take my reply with your own research.

At 13:22 After cutting the files and when trying to move them to the drive, it's giving me a message saying network discovery and file sharing are turned off. Do I enable it and if so do I choose private network or public network?

You can enable private network with file sharing/network discovery to ON.

Hi. I can see the keyboard settings are mixed up in the servers and clients. The servers work with P"ssw0rd, while the clients work with the corrrect password, P@ssw0rd. I keep getting the "Could not connect to \\cm1\sms..." error on clients. I believe there is a startup script. I don't know what it does. About some CMClient. I am not that advanced. There is no sms share on cm1 as far as I can see. There are other sm*** folders there however in the root.
